Kautz Road SubStation Status

MI backfed from Master SubStation○ Using Feeder 45 for MI conventional power which is

normally T85 on KRSWe ordered 6+ new surge arrestors (4.7k each) from

Hubbell and they were delivered on Friday, July 26th

Schedule: (Weather Dependent)○ Monday, August 5th replace T85 surge arrestors

No machine impact (In Progress)

○ Tuesday, August 6th replace T87 surge arrestorsNo beam during work 8-10 hoursAfter replacement, test both T85 and T87

There will be a 20 minute MI conventional power outage to remove the backfeed, not scheduled.

MI Startup Activities (~1 Week) Turn on power supplies and establish ramps Establish 8 Gev beam

Match MI8 line lattice with IPM Tune abort line @8 Gev

Establish 120 Gev beam Smooth orbits up the ramp Tune abort line @ 120 Gev

High field Orbit smoothing (quad moves) (Have data for 1st) Requires tunnel access (2x8 hrs)

Calibrate tune table MI8 line lattice matching (1st of 2 passes complete)

Dedicated beam study Extraction line tune up (NuMI) (Attempting extraction) Tune up for operation Deliver low intensity beam to NuMI beam line for target scans

Estimated to take an additional week after MI is tuned up for operations
